Hey there, human, want to feel some awe? Look at this newly released NASA image set of two galaxies, each with a supermassive black hole at its heart, colliding in a violent spiral of star stuff. Space is awesome, and thanks to improved telescope technology, we're seeing more and more of it every day.

NASA is going hunting for black holes, and they're using a new low Earth orbit telescope to do it. It's called NuSTAR (short for Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array), and it's scheduled to launch today beginning at 11:30 EDT. Check out the live webcast after the jump.

Sure, space-based X-Ray telescopes have been in service since the Einstein Observatory launched back way back in 1978. But the NuSTAR Project is different: It promises to illuminate at the heavens above as never before.
